30 Brilliant Bedroom Color Schemes to Inspire Your Space (2024)

Cozy Up with These Beautiful Bedding Ideas for Every Style

Ebony + Powder White + Blush Pink

A black and white bedroom color scheme is anything but basic when accented with shiny brass and blush pink. These light tones soften this bedroom's high-contrast pairing of two-tone wall colors. Because the room gets plenty of natural light, the dark color on the lower portion of the wall feels grounding rather than overwhelming.

When incorporating color with black and white, go with barely-there tones to keep the room's emphasis on its graphic elements. Muted blush pink, present in the floral wall art and throw blanket at the end of the bed, adds subtle interest to this bedroom color scheme.

Cream + Soft Gray + Squash Yellow + Emerald Green

Combine soft shades of both warm and cool tones to create a dynamic yet balanced bedroom color scheme. Here, squash yellow and creamy white are cooled off with barely-there gray bedding and small hints of deep emerald green in pillows and wall art. Mirrored details on the nightstand introduce a contemporary touch.

Country French Blue + Soft Red + Antique White

Capture the charm and grace of a bygone era with a bedroom color scheme of antiqued blue, red, and white shades. Keep the colors reined in and employ a limited range of hues to maintain a sense of elegance. Here, patterned textiles in muted shades of red and blue are used for curtains, pillows, and bedding. Warm white paint color on the walls and textured, off-white area rug provides a solid neutral foundation, while aged brass sconces nod to the past.

Poppy Red + Orange + Black

Black helps temper the excitement of red and orange, creating a striking bedroom color scheme highlighted with global-inspired motifs. A red-and-black tapestry and matching pillow turn a simple bed into a focal point, while the white bedding and walls maintain a crisp look. Accent pillows and a throw feature ikat prints in soft orange hues that bring global flair to the space.

Creamy White + Natural Wood + Charcoal

Evoking the look of freshly fallen snow, this cottage-style bedroom combines pearly whites with rich wood tones for a look that is undeniably soothing and graceful. Shiplap walls and muted patterns add texture and dimension to the neutral color palette. Hints of dark charcoal in light fixtures and patterned textiles break up the expanses of white.

Burnt Orange + Dusty Pink + Crisp White

Enveloped in hues inspired by the setting sun, this bedroom color scheme feels ideally suited for a girl. Here, crisp white walls provide a blank canvas that lets orange and pink accents shine. The bright colors benefit from a few darker contrasting accents. In this bedroom, a dark, oil-rubbed bronze bed frame and light fixture do the trick.

Seafoam Green + Mustard Yellow + Linen

A nature-inspired bedroom color scheme creates a soothing, quiet aura. In this bedroom, seafoam green and mustard yellow evoke a calm ambience, while natural textures in the woven headboard and basket add subtle interest. The neutral-colored bedding features delicate yellow flowers that nod to the room's organic theme.

Teal Blue + Fuchsia + Off-White

Blue and white are a familiar bedroom color scheme duo, but throwing in fuchsia takes the scheme from basic to unique. The floral-patterned duvet inspired and guided the color ratios for this bedroom. The teal blue covering the walls is used the most, while off-white plays out in medium doses. Fuchsia is kept as an accent, appearing on a throw blanket and in wall art hanging above the bed.

Granite Gray + Down White + Warm Wood

Envelop an expansive room in a blanket of coziness with a warm, neutral bedroom color scheme. Here, a wood plank accent wall and simplistic wood furniture form a richly textured backdrop. Small doses of saturated charcoal gray and an abundance of bright white contribute a modern sophistication while a variety of textures, including soft linen bedding, a shaggy sheepskin rug, and knotty wood, add comfort and warmth.

Chocolate Brown + Swan White + Navy Blue

Timeless colors and motifs introduce charm to this quaint bedroom. The deep chocolate brown wall color, strategically used only above the wainscoting, adds richness to the bedroom color scheme. A distressed finish on the vintage-look bed establishes a cottage style, played up by simple bedding in a delicate navy blue and white pattern.

Fern Green + Turquoise + Yellow

For a bold bedroom color scheme, look to lush, tropical hues. An accent wall covered in moody, fern-motif wallpaper sets the tone for this richly colored bedroom. The vibrant green repeated on the floor and trim wraps the room in a verdant color. Egg-yolk yellow and turquoise contrast brightly against the saturated green background.

Sand + Weathered White + Sea Glass

Bring the look of a beach resort home with a bedroom color scheme inspired by a seaside locale. Start with a base of sandy browns and weathered whites, then layer in dusty blues and greens. Think beyond paint when creating a coastal feel. Here, hand-glazed woven raffia wallpaper and slate tiles convey seaside textures.

Coral-Orange + Aqua Blue + Latte White

Neutral walls and furniture in shades of similar warm white create a cloud-like backdrop for vibrant coral-orange and aqua blue. Abstract floral print shams on the bed inspire the bedroom color scheme, and the rest of the room's elements follow suit.

To determine your design style, find a pillow or bedspread with colors you love and build from there. Often, bedding comes in coordinated sets, but don't be afraid to break them up. Mix and match, or leave out parts of the set. For example, nix the bed skirt that matches the pillows and opt for a version in a solid color that blends with the rest of the bedding.

Pale Azure + Cabana White + Tropic Accents

What could be better than relaxing in a comfortable cabana? Bring that feeling with a bedroom color scheme of watery blue, crisp white, and a few tropical accent hues. For a serene look, keep the color of blue you use consistent and limit bright colors to small doses.

Dusty Peony + Grass Green + Pure White

Borrow hues from the garden for a fresh, modern bedroom color scheme. Start with a muted version of a floral hue, then pair it with a zingy green and plenty of crisp white. Here, dusty peony walls and saturated tones of grass green punctuate white bedding and furniture.

Citron + Rose + Cloud White

Just because bedrooms are for resting doesn't mean the color palette has to be boring. Here, a complementary pair (green and pink, a variation of red) provides dynamic contrast. The colors are bright but not overly rich and saturated, which keeps the look cheery and not overwhelming.

Indigo + Parchment + Gold

Impart a rich feeling with your bedroom color scheme. Here, shades of parchment and cocoa brown offset indigo-blue walls and equally rich espresso-finished wood floors. Using gold as an accent color lightens the look, but the elegant tone keeps in step with the bedroom's sophisticated feel.

Linen + Pale Taupe + Moss

The key to a successful neutral bedroom color scheme lies beyond the colors. Texture, pattern, and a bit of shimmer will make neutrals sing. In this brown and green bedroom, neutrals with the same undertone, ranging from linen to taupe, are punctuated by matelasse bedding, scrollwork carpet, and a mercury glass lamp. Moss green, a shade muted by brown, fits in with the room's neutral colors while still adding an eye-catching spot of color.

Icy Gray + Orchid + Lavender

Purple looks extra luxurious when paired with sophisticated grays. Mix strong geometric patterns with delicate purple for a look that's fresh, not frilly. In this bedroom, soft lavender bridges the tonal gap between the pale grays in the space and the saturated orchid blanket.

Slate + Lemon + Cloud

You can't go wrong by starting with gray for a stylish and versatile bedroom color scheme. In this petite bedroom, the sleek palette of gray and lemon yellow makes a bold statement. Serving as the star of the scheme, a cool slate gray on the walls leans heavily toward the blue end of the spectrum. Cloud-colored bedding continues the gray parade, and yellow on the pillows, ottomans, and accessories brings a partly sunny lightness to the grays.

Goldenrod + Pewter + Cream

Primary bedroom paint colors don't have to be boring. For an unexpected twist on the popular gray-and-yellow scheme, pair paler grays with muted yellows and creamy whites. Light grays can read as metallic and sophisticated, while not-so-bright yellows are more subdued. Creamy whites with buttery undertones, rather than pure whites, will also read as yellow but in less of a knock-your-socks-off manner. Warmer grays will also do the trick.

Silvery Gray + Weathered Wood + Mink

Pull together a palette of grays for an instantly elegant bedroom color scheme. Keep the undertones warm to make the space feel extra inviting. Here, soft gray walls stand back and let tall ceilings, beautiful patterns, and sparkling accents stand in the spotlight. Fabrics such as velvet and damask lend a shimmering effect without being in-your-face sparkly.

Bright Sky Blue + Cool White + Warm Oak

Blue is a quintessential bedroom color scheme, but its enduring legacy also works in modern settings. To achieve this look, sky blue is used with crisp white and clean-lined furniture and accessories in this bedroom. The blue wall color maintains the modern monochromatic color scheme. Still, the lighter shade pulls back the walls slightly, allowing the other elements, such as the architectural bed in warm oak, to shine.

Antique Whites + Crisp White

Forget the notion that your whites have to match. A mixed bag of neutrals can create a visually attractive space with a few exciting tricks. Keep your palette of whites within the same family so that they all share similar undertones. In this bedroom, warm whites in varying intensities color the walls, trim, and bedding. Texture and repetition also bring the palette to life. Using each color more than once makes the mixing look more intentional. Here, light mocha appears on the trim, stool cushions, and shams, while linen colors the artwork and drapes.

Linen White + Sunny Yellow + Dove Gray

White is a go-to bedroom color scheme because of its soothing, simple properties. Plus, it can be interpreted as modern, traditional, cottage, or vintage. In this cheery space, the neutral goes cottage, with splashes of yellow on the bedding and plenty of style-specific accents, such as the wrought-iron bed and eclectic gathering of accessories. Hints of gray keep the color palette crisp and fresh.

Navy Blue + Snow White + Lipstick Pink

Dark bedroom color schemes bring the drama. To balance the look, use a dark color in one large dose and let the rest of the room's elements remain bright. In this sophisticated bedroom, rich navy blue colors the walls, forming a backdrop for the burlap white headboard, bench, and nightstand. Snow white bedding with lipstick-pink trim and white drapes are also eye-catching against the deep blue.

Blush Pink + Candlelight Yellow + Charcoal Black

Pale pink grasscloth adds a hint of color and softens the angles of the vaulted ceiling in this bedroom. Mixing white bedding with pink sheets and shams ensures the color remains sophisticated, not saccharine. Candlelight yellow tones in the artwork, and a large area rug offer contrast while contributing to the glow of the room. Black brings structure to the bedroom via a curvaceous bed frame, table lamps, and the frame on the painting.

Watercolor Blue + Sandy White

Simple but not simplistic, a two-color bedroom color scheme is a welcoming break from a busy world. In this light-filled room, the judicious use of white reflects the incoming natural light, making the blue walls almost iridescent. The more saturated palette of the painting above the bed serves as a contrast point and a reminder of just how light and delicate the rest of the room is.

Dove Gray + Tulip Pink

Hints of pink bring a graceful air to a contemporary space. Gray and white patterns on the striped rug, damask drapes, and plaid wallpaper add subtle visual texture, while bold tulip pink punctuates the space. When introducing a bright accent color, use it at least three times in the room so it flows seamlessly.
